Overall, there are three different
kinds of investments. These include stocks, bonds, and cash.
Sounds simple, right? Well, unfortunately, it gets very
complicated from there. You see, each type of investment has
numerous types of investments that fall under it.
There is quite a bit to learn about each different investment
type. The stock market can be a big scary place for those who know
little or nothing about investing. Fortunately, the amount of
information that you need to learn has a direct relation to the
type of investor that you are. There are also three types of
investors: conservative, moderate, and aggressive. The different
types of investments also cater to the two levels of risk
tolerance: high risk and low risk.
Conservative investors often invest in cash. This means that they
put their money in interest bearing savings accounts, money market
accounts, mutual funds, US Treasury bills, and Certificates of
Deposit. These are very safe investments that grow over a long
period of time. These are also low risk investments.
Moderate investors often invest in cash and bonds, and may dabble
in the stock market. Moderate investing may be low or moderate
risks. Moderate investors often also invest in real estate,
providing that it is low risk real estate.
Aggressive investors commonly do most of their investing in the
stock market, which is higher risk. They also tend to invest in
business ventures as well as higher risk real estate. For
instance, if an aggressive investor puts his or her money into an
older apartment building, then invests more money renovating the
property, they are running a risk. They expect to be able to rent
the apartments out for more money than the apartments are
currently worth – or to sell the entire property for a profit on
their initial investments. In some cases, this works out just
fine, and in other cases, it doesn’t. It’s a risk.
Before you start investing, it is very important that you learn
about the different types of investments, and what those
investments can do for you. Understand the risks involved, and pay
attention to past trends as well. History does indeed repeat
itself, and investors know this first hand!
